WEATHER RELATED DISASTERS
• 1992-2001 CRED Statistics
• 90% of all natural disasters are weather related
• 622,000 Lost their lives-2 billion affected
• $446 billion in losses

NMHS’s REQUIRE REAL TIME HYDROMET DATA
• Climate models need GCOS Data
• Mesoscale models are increasing
• Distributed hydrologic models need high resolution data
• Tsunami models require pressure data

The Challenge: Sustaining our present HYDROMET networks
33% of EXISTING GUAN AND GCOS SURFACE STATIONS DO NOT REPORT

How to Build a network
• Have a Disaster– Hurricane MITCH
• Build a case to include Data Network as part of Bank LOAN– Russia, Poland,Romania
• Seek Donors – -Mekong streamgage network-Australia

Building your Case
• Analyze existing network– Develop Data network scenarious (ideal vs
basic)
– Examine forecasting and warning requirements for climatology, hydrology, meteorology and coastal surge/tsunami
– Conduct GAP analysis
![Page 12: Building and Sustaining Data Networks by Curt Barrett-NWS International](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814871550346895db57c09/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Some Major DATA Players
Global Earth Observing System GEOSS)
GCOS Program
European Union
United States Agency for International Development
World Bank
United Nations (such as WMO WWW)
NOAA

Develop a Strategy
• To acquire funds to modernize Data Networks -Look at what opportunities exist!
• Develop a “marketing plan”– What are existing network limitations and resultant
negative impacts ?
– Describe users and Data needs (the Gap)
– Describe Data Network benefits vs costs for network scenarious

Develop USER Partnerships
• User Requirements for Data are your requirements
• Develop USER partnerships
• USERS assist NMHS in developing plan
• USERS lobby government to execute plan

SUMMARY
• NMHS’s cooperate to develop VISION (how?)• Develop Partnerships with USERS
– (energy. Emergency services,agriculture,media,transportation
• Costs vs Benefits calculated for network enhancement (how?)
• Make sure maintenance plans and funds included to assure sustainability
• Sell plan at every opportunity• Have patience
